"“Our trainer, Andy Playter, is first rate. (He) went right to Grabovski and said: ‘how are you?’ He had total recall. He said that puck hit the crossbar. He had total recall of the situation, no blackout, no loss of memory, no dizziness, no nausea.
“When he (Playter) asked if he was good to go, he (Grabovski) said: ‘Yeah, got it in the jaw.’ No symptoms.”"

As a student in athletic therapy and taking part in extra curricular concussion seminars, it is my understanding that sympyoms do not need to play a role in the evaluation of this concussion. As I did not see the game I do not know about how. Garbovski reacted but if he could not get to his feet and stumbled as so many people say happened. Then he should have had a full concussion evaluation as according to the SCAT concussion tool memory and symptoms are more easily altered assessments then the use of balance and pupilary reflexes
